Although construction is a project-based industry, management focus has recently shifted from projects to project portfolios to meet strategic objectives of companies that require holistic analysis of the projects undertaken. Dependencies between projects within a portfolio need to be taken into consideration since they may significantly affect the portfolio success with their combined effects. There are limited studies in the area of construction project portfolio management that investigate how the dependencies between projects can be handled. In this paper, a method is presented to calculate and visualize project dependencies to support decision making process within a portfolio management tool for construction projects. Within this context, a dependency map is proposed not only to identify different dependencies and their effects within the portfolio, but also to take into consideration the combined effect of dependencies. An illustrative case study is depicted in the paper to demonstrate how the proposed method works and how its results can be used to support decision-making during portfolio selection.

A Decision Support System for Project Portfolio Management in Construction Companies Bilgin, Gozde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; ÖZORHON ORAKÇAL, BELİZ (2022-11-01) Project portfolio management requires a systematic process that comprises assessment of portfolio risk and expected profitability, as well as strategic fit of individual projects with company objectives. After a needs analysis based on literature findings and surveys with experts, in this study, a process model and a tool, COPPMAN (COnstruction Project Portfolio MANagement), were developed to support project portfolio decisions in construction companies. COPPMAN was developed in collaboration with construct...
Potential Utilization of Building Information Models for Planning Maintenance Activities Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Garrett, James H (2010-06-30) The opportunities for leveraging Building Information Models (BIMs) for facility operations are compelling and yet utilization of BIMs during building operation and maintenance is falling behind the BIM implementations for design and construction. Current studies of BIMs used for the operations phase and commercially available technologies focus on transferring information from the design and construction phases to the operations phase by enabling creation and capturing of digital facility information throu...
A critical review of risk management support tools Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2004-09-03) It has been claimed by many researchers that "a risk driven approach" to project management is necessary to increase the success of construction projects. Literature is very rich in conceptual frameworks to overcome the informality of risk management efforts. However, risk management paradigms exist as methodologies rather than systems which can fully support the risk management process. The existing risk management support tools are usually based on quantitative risk analysis whereas the other phases are c...
An Integrated regression-bootstrap sampling scheduling method for probabilistic duration range estimation of construction projects Barış, Özgür; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The estimation of project duration is important in construction projects, since it directly affects the costs and the success of the projects. Schedule risks can be determined along with the duration estimations in order to assess the possibility of delay penalties and additional costs. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimation of project duration range is very crucial in construction industry to assess the schedule risks. This thesis presents an integrated approach of non-parametric bootstrap sampling meth...
Identification and modeling of critical success factors of portfolio management in construction sector Hızal, A. Sercenk; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a good theoretical fit for a multi-dimensional industry like construction, however practical implications are limited. The aim of this thesis is to deeply analyze and investigate the determinant factors on the success of portfolio management in the construction industry. Since few studies have addressed them, both PPM in the construction sector and related success factors could be regarded as newly arising subjects for the literature. Consequently, the main contribution...
